New Delhi, Jan 15: She was the faceless woman who bound a nation in concern and shame and made India a talking point across the world. A month after a young physiotherapy intern was gang-raped in the Indian capital and 18 days after she died of her injuries, the spotlight stays resolutely on India's women and their status.
It was on the night of Dec 16 that the 23-year-old and her male friend got on to a bus in Delhi's usually busy Munirka neighbourhood after watching a movie. After assaulting her for what seemed like hours, she was left battered and bleeding on the roadside with her friend, both stripped off their clothes. On Dec 29, she died in a Singapore hospital where she was taken for specialised treatment.
